  • Insect Egg Size and Shape Evolve with Ecology but Not Developmental Rate Samuel H
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-1302-4 Insect egg size and shape evolve with ecology but not developmental rate Samuel H. Church1,4*, Seth Donoughe1,3,4, Bruno A. S. de Medeiros1 & Cassandra G. Extavour1,2* Over the course of evolution, organism size has diversified markedly. Changes in size are thought to have occurred because of developmental, morphological and/or ecological pressures. To perform phylogenetic tests of the potential effects of these pressures, here we generated a dataset of more than ten thousand descriptions of insect eggs, and combined these with genetic and life-history datasets. We show that, across eight orders of magnitude of variation in egg volume, the relationship between size and shape itself evolves, such that previously predicted global patterns of scaling do not adequately explain the diversity in egg shapes. We show that egg size is not correlated with developmental rate and that, for many insects, egg size is not correlated with adult body size. Instead, we find that the evolution of parasitoidism and aquatic oviposition help to explain the diversification in the size and shape of insect eggs. Our study suggests that where eggs are laid, rather than universal allometric constants, underlies the evolution of insect egg size and shape. Size is a fundamental factor in many biological processes. The size of an 526 families and every currently described extant hexapod order24 organism may affect interactions both with other organisms and with (Fig. 1a and Supplementary Fig. 1).

Scanning electron microscope observations on the egg chorio n of the Uzi fly Exorista bombycis (Louis) (Diptera : Tachinidae) were carried out to obtain further understanding -of the probable function and developm ent of chor ionic structures of eggs. The study reveals morphologically and physiologically important structures viz. aeropyles, micropyles, a circular lid with a well defined hatch ing line, a chorionic respiratory network, etc. The egg of E. bombycis is considered indehiscent, i.e., the egg chorion is not modified for hatchin g and the larva emerges from the ventral egg surface. However , a lid surrounded by a well defined hatching line is present in E. bombycis, but is genera lly found in dehiscent Tach inid eggs and is used for hatching . Further, the type of chorionic respiratory systems in the family Tachin idae are discussed in detail.

References 88 r.10.7 Index to 92 ABSTRACT About 100 commercially important timber species are being extracted from the natural forests in Kerala and stored in depots. The stored timber is often attacked by borers belonging to the insect order Coleoptera. In the present survey, about 53 species of beetles were recorded as pests of one or more of 46 species of stored timber. These belong to the families, Cerambycidae, Bostrychidae, Lyctidae, Platypodidae, Scolytidae, Curculioni- dae and Anthribidae. The major cerambycid borers collected in this study were, Batocera rufomaculata (attacking Bombax ceiba, Ceiba pentandra, Manoifera indica and Syzygium cumini) ; Olenecamptus bilobus (attacking Artocarpus hirsutus and Lagerstroemia microcarpa) and Xystrocera globosa (attacking Albizia odoratissima). They generally attack the sapwood as well as heartwood of freshlv felled timber with intact bark. Borers belonging to the other families are small in size but often cause considerable economic loss. They generally attack the sapwood. Maximum damage is caused to the low density timbers having marked sapwood portion. Finished products such as match veneers, plywoods, packing case boards, brush-handles, bobbins, photo-frames.
